If you would like more information, please contact us at shsresearch@umsystem.edu. These are printed minutes of annual meetings of the Lamine River Association, 1845-1859 and 1877-1882. Known first as the Lamine River Regular Baptist Association, the organization was composed of churches in Bates, Camden, Cooper, Jackson, Johnson, Miller, Morgan, and Pettis counties in Missouri. The Lamine River Regular Baptist Association was organized in 1836 and 1837 by several small churches in Pettis and Cooper counties. It was established during the period when the antimission, anti-effort movement was dividing Baptist congregations in Missouri. In contrast with United Baptists, Regular or Old School Baptists rejected schemes for missionary work and proselytism as secular inventions unrecognized by the Scriptures. The Articles of Faith of the Lamine River Association proscribed ecclesiastical schools, Sunday schools, tract and temperance societies, and the organization known as the Baptist Board of Foreign and Home Missions. The minutes of the annual meetings for 1845-1859 list seven to thirteen churches in the association, representing a membership of about 225. Lists of messengers to the annual meetings and summaries of business transacted make up the bulk of the minutes. Those for 1846 also include the Articles of Faith and Rules of Decorum of the Lamine River Association. Martillas Embree, Tyra H. Berry, James Reavis, and Jesse Pemberton were prominent members during this period. Messengers from the Little Piney Regular Baptist Association were received in 1845 and 1846. Correspondence with the Mount Zion Regular Baptist Association was suspended in 1845 due to a doctrinal dispute within that organization. By the 1870s the Lamine River Association had adopted the appellation Predestinarian as part of its title. Many other Regular Baptist associations did the same. The change in designation reflected an additional refinement of the anti-mission, anti-effort doctrine. The minutes for 1877 and 1879 list eight churches as constituting the association, with a combined membership of about 150. Only six churches reported in 1882, representing 125 members. Elders Daniel Reavis, E. F. Gunn, and J. W. West are mentioned often in the minutes. r358 12 November 1986 Margaret Elizabeth Bowles Eyberg Gift r488 16 October 1990 Morgan County Historical Society Loaned for photocopying Shelf List These are printed minutes of annual meetings of the Lamine River Association, 1845-1859 and 1877-1882.
